I don't seem to just go run for the fun of it. I have to work at running and in order to inspire me to keep it up I always sign up for a race and then wonder the whole time why I did that.
This year I have decided to do my first Rock & Roll Half Marathon only if someone would come and watch. Rachel, Ty, and Brady jumped on the opportunity for a party in St. Louis and away the training went. Somehow I train so well and then race day is a different story. This year I was very surprised that I kept to all my training, the weather was outstanding, and it was a great run on race day! With all of these factors I had my personal best at 2 hours 11 minutes.
The Andrews came in on Thursday night so the boys were anxious for me to finally get off work on Friday. We did our regular "party" stops with frozen yogurt before the boys found the Wii. Mario Cart was a hit. Saturday we headed to the expo by metro. It was about a four hour afternoon that should of taken less than 2 hours. It was one of those items that Brady always asks to do, so it was a must.
After the big race we stocked up on some great snacks before heading to Forest Park to paddle boat. This was a much better idea before running 13.1 miles.
Thanks Andrews for coming and supporting my big race! Love you guys!
